John D'Angelico was one of the most famous archtop guitar builders in the history of the instrument, setting a standard for the hand-built instrument that has lasted to this day. Under license from the D'Angelico family, popular models such as the NYS-2 have been reissued with painstaking attention to detail. From the engraved stairstep tailpiece to the art deco pickguard to the Chrysler Building truss rod cover, these meticulously crafted instruments recapture the flair and elegance of the streamline era.With its full complement of pro features at an unbeatable price the NYL-2 became one of the most wildly successful archtops of recent years, used by top pros like Phil Upchurch, Russell Malone, Duke Robillard, Jerry Hahn, Grant Green Jr. and many more.

This example is an original Vestax built model, and appears signed or initialed by master luthier of the Terada workshop near Nagoya, Japan. The guitar is in immaculate 100% original condition, without wear of any kind, with all original hardware and case and is perfect for both serious players and collectors.
